Just the way it is. The RKC is Angelina Jolie and the EGS is Jennifer Aniston. It's not about the actual cost, it's more about the looks and the ride!!!

So... ok, let's go for Angelina Jolie... I hope Brad Pitt will agree to share her with me...

You must have some weird pricing in Georgia.

The cheapest Ultra is $2000 more than the cheapest Street Glide.
